Everybody loves the idea of JoyTech’s recycling program, but the truth is that recycling is the LEAST we can do to stop the environmental apocalypse. In kindergarten, they teach kids, “REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE.” Recycling comes third because it’s basically a last resort. Reducing is first because obviously, it’s better to just USE LESS than to have to reuse or recycle.

JoyTech wants to start a major recycling program to clean up Ring City, but they must think we’re idiots if we don’t see that a giant plant in the middle of everything is going to create more waste than ever. Recycling doesn’t help when you’re just increasing production. Why would the Conurban Council let this happen?

Predictably, Aurora is writing a letter to find out.
